Rig Quality & Versatility - Create stable, flexible, and animator-friendly rigs supporting both body and facial motion—including mocap workflows

Technical Accuracy - Ensure rig hierarchies, joint placements, naming conventions, and deformation principles meet pipeline standards

Timely Deliverables - Deliver rigs on schedule, aligned with character readiness and animation team milestones

Tool Development & Automation - Develop and maintain scripts/tools (Python, MEL, etc.) that optimise rigging, skinning, and export processes

Facial Rigging Excellence - Build expressive facial rigs that support lip sync, facial motion and blend seamlessly with mocap systems

Reusability & Scalability - Design modular rigs and templates for efficient reuse across similar character archetypes or re-skinned assets

Autonomous Execution - Proactively solve technical rigging problems with minimal supervision, owning the rigging lifecycle end-to-end

Engine Integration - Ensure rigs function correctly in engines such as Unreal or Unity, handling retargeting, LODs, and constraints for real-time performance

Team Mentorship & Support - Guide junior riggers by sharing expertise, reviewing work, and documenting best practices

Skinning Quality - Deliver clean mesh deformations across joints and poses, supporting both gameplay and cinematic fidelity

Creative Problem Solving - Innovate solutions for complex rigging scenarios—such as creature rigs, dynamic systems, and advanced facial setups

Pipeline Contribution & Documentation - Maintain well-documented rigging workflows, standards, and tool libraries to support team-wide efficiency and consistency

5+ years of professional experience in Rigging and skinning for games, films, or cinematics

A portfolio with show-reel in video format or online video link

Familiarity with animation integration in engines such as Unreal Engine or Unity

Strong communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative production environment

Knowledge of Maya & MotionBuilder for animation refinement or export pipelines is a plus

Experience in facial animation and lip-sync workflows

Knowledge of motion capture systems (Vicon, OptiTrack, Xsens)

Experience with Python/MEL scripting for MotionBuilder pipeline tools
